Where is the maven home directory when you install Netbeans with Glassfish? I have searched for 'mvn' in the Program Files directory and my user directory in Windows 7 but it turns up nothing.

In the Maven settings in Netbeans for 'Maven Home' it says 'Bundled' which isn't much use to me, I need the actual path to maven.

First install maven separately (and verify it by running mvn command line) and then open netbeans and navigate to Tools -> Options -> Java -> Maven (I guess you already know that but just in case) and change the 'Maven Home' path to the directory where maven is installed.

enter image description here

The Bundled maven could generally be found at NetBeans_install_directory/java/maven.

Example For Mac: /Applications/NetBeans 8.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/java/maven/ Example For Windows: C:/Program Files/Netbeans 8.2/java/maven/
